Windows 10: Use Windows 10 Pro key to upgrade Windows 11 Home?

Hi there,Looking for advice on if it's possible to upgrade my desktop PC loaded with Windows 11 Home to Windows 11 Pro with a Windows 10 Pro retail key I have installed on an old laptop, is it possible at all and is it possible to do without completely reinstalling the OS?The laptop is old and ailing and not capable of much. I hadn't used it in years and it just returned error messages when attempting updates.Many thanks!

:)

Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?

 

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

Now that I have finally upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10 will my Windows 8 key work with a fresh install of Windows 10?
